The Buzz | Al Roker: 'I pooped my pants' during White House visit

Al Roker will never forget an embarrassing experience that happened while he was at the White House following his gastric bypass surgery in 2002.

"When you have a bypass and your bowels (have) been reconstructed, you think you're pretty safe," Roker told Dr. Nancy Snyderman for "Dateline," which can be viewed on a video on TMZ.com.

"And I probably went off and ate something I wasn't supposed to. And as I'm walking to the press room ? I gotta pass a little gas here. I'm walking by myself. Who's gonna know? Only a little something extra came out."

The NBC weatherman went on to share about the experience, saying: "I pooped my pants... I was panicking, so I got to the restroom of the press room, threw out the underwear and just went commando."

Roker, who lost more than 100 pounds following the surgery, has written a book about his struggles with weight loss.
